From what I have been told, The existence of a TRF Design approved and âregisteredâ by/with the Army Dress Committee does not indicate that the given Regiment or Corps will in fact ever wear it!

But units assigned to 16 Air Assault Brigade will wear that TRF as its DZ Flash. Units that had more than 1 DZ Flash (other than the Parachute Regiment) will in future only wear the Regimental TRF (What about the Royal Engineer EOD Flash should no longer be worn, and the RLC Black/Red should be changed to Blue/Yellow)

The Red Cross is not a TRF, but a protected symbol within the meaning of the Geneva Conventions, used to identify medical personnel irrespective of what side they are on. It should always be worn on the left arm.

Just to add to the debate, and to confirm comments. Here is an extract from the Nov 2004 Poster. (The current issue)

Interesting. The instructions appear to contradict themselves - the Red Cross is always worn on the left, and there are two sizes - larger for clinical staff and smaller for support staff. Each badge has to be stamped to validate it. It is also worn by many civilians engaged in humanitarian work. Its use is also governed by the Geneva Conventions.
